Silver Age Plan, education finance, teacher’s salary
Abstract
This article mainly explores the core role of education finance in promoting the development of education in the Western region, especially how education finance has improved the education quality of the first two pilot universities in Xinjiang by optimizing the salaries, subsidies, and benefits of silver-aged teachers. The Silver Age Lecture Program, as an innovative talent support policy, has been found to optimize the salary structure, subsidy mechanism, and treatment guarantee of silver-age teachers. This not only attracts and retains more silver-age teachers, but also effectively enhances their teaching enthusiasm and educational quality. Through detailed case analysis, the key role of education finance in teacher treatment, professional development support, and promoting educational equity has been revealed, providing practical guidance for the effective implementation of the Silver Age Plan in the western region. At the same time, it is suggested that special policies be introduced at the national level to implement wage tax reductions and provide more subsidies for silver-aged teachers who reemploy during the period of receiving pensions, to fully enhance the work enthusiasm and economic situation of elderly employees.
